OVERHEAD RIGGING

 Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires
extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials
should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
 Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging
and servicing.
 The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be
seated.
 Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device's
weight.
 Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when installing the unit.
This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop
more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
 The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
 Don't cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
 The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by

an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled
person to be sure that safety is still optimal.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,
according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
Electrical installation for 1 standalone unit:
 Insert the mains cable. The unit starts working immediately in the last selected stand-alone mode.
 Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP to learn how to switch between static and sound mode.
Remark: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the unit if you want to have more control.
Electrical installation for two or more units in master/slave:
 Connect 2 to maximum 16 units together using good quality balanced microphone cables. The unit that
has no cable connected to its DMX-input is the "master", the others are the slave units.
 Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
 Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP for more information.
 Done!
Master/slave controlled by a simple CA-8 hand controller:
You can connect the CA-8 hand controller to the master for easy control!
Master/slave controlled by a small, easy to use, LEDCON-02 controller:
You can connect the LEDCON-02 controller to the master for multi channel control, perfect for DJs!
Remark: set ChMd (DMX-channel mode) to "Mod1"!
Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-mode:
 The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light
equipment. You need to "daisy chain" your DMX controller and all the connected
units with a good quality balanced cable.
 To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use
a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply won't work!
 Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
 Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper start address so it knows which commands from
